In a sentencing hearing via videoconference, Tylon Ceasar, 20, of Hartford, Connecticut, was handed a 16-month prison sentence for distributing heroin and selling a firearm.

According to court documents, Ceasar made five controlled purchases of heroin and crack cocaine from Ceasar in the vicinity of his Putnam Street residence on five occasions in November and December 2018. Some of the purchased heroin contained fentanyl. Ceasar also sold a firearm to a government witness on January 3, 2019.

On January 17, 2019, Ceasar was arrested on a criminal complaint. Investigators seized a small quantity of crack from Ceasar’s residence at the time of his arrest. After his arrest, Ceasar was released on bond under a condition that he wear a GPS monitoring device.

Ceasar has been detained since August 14, 2019, after he allegedly shot at another person and accidentally struck an associate on August 13. The state charges against Ceasar stemming from this incident were dismissed.

The matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Northern Connecticut Gang Task Force and the Hartford Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Gustafson.
